Warning(s): Bad jokes.
Epilogue compliant? Almost - vague reference made to it.
Word Count: ~16,900
Author's notes: Written for the 2012 hd_smoochfest. I would just like to apologise in advance: I know nothing about gardening, growing vegetables, living in a village, cider or Devon. But at least I do already know how to make jam - not that anyone makes jam in this. I did try to follow the prompt, including the request for not too much schmoop: I'm not entirely sure how successful I was on that last point. :D Thanks to my lovely betas birdsofshore and evilgiraff for their time and effort, as always. Finally, the title is from The Garden by Andrew Marvell, and the lines 'But society is all but rude / To this delicious solitude.'
